Help with results please
Hello, Just trying to work out if thyroid looks ok please and doesn't need any further investigation? I know I'm iron deficient with a low ferritin level but have been supplementing for 8 weeks now and have got up from 8 ug/L to 31 ug/L and am no longer anaemic either as Hb has raised a little too

Have the new guide-lines on B12 deficiency/ Pernicious Anaemia been published yet?
They have been so delayed. .

Vitamins
My active B12 and folate were low so as per advice on the forum I have held off supplementing until my GP tests for pernicious
anaemia
. My mother had PA and I certainly do have some symptoms of B12 deficiency. I'm due to get my bloods done at surgery tomorrow.

PA and oral B12 supplements
I have recently been diagnosed with PA and I’ve had an initial booster course of 6x B12 injections with a plan for 3 monthly injections for life (based, I understand, on local UK NHS protocols, or how my GP has interpreted them). I was therefore wondering if there is any benefit in taking oral B12

updated iron results - best next steps?
Hey everyone, I had some great advice on here a couple of weeks ago. I just had a full blood test completed (given the RLS had gotten significantly worse recently) and my iron results came back low: Iron 14.3 umol/L (Range: 10 - 30) TIBC 54.2 umol/L (Range: 45 - 81) UIBC 39.9 umol/L (Range: 12 -

Post menopause, pernicious anaemia and endometriosis
Diagnosed with endomeriosis over 15 years years ago, had Prostap injections for 6 months, with little success and opted to try Mirena Coil first before hysterectomy. Mirena was a god send for me, it was great at controlling my symptons, I've had 3 mirena coils in total. The first one for a year

After 25 years they have stopped my B12 - what can I do?
I do not want to continue with this "wait until the symptoms are really bothering me" or until I develop pernicious
anaemia
. It seems that B12 is harmless at worst, but doctors seem dead set on getting people off it.

daughter and blood test for anaemia
Our daughter, who is 40, has had gut issues since 14 yrs old as NHS didn’t detect helicabactor pylori for more than 2 years (thought she was too young to have it) and eventually gave her huge doses of antibiotics and other junk which affected her gut big time. Eventually got an appt with Dr Sarah Myhill

Update B12 appointment . help needed
Thank you all for your advice . Had an appointment yesterday and despite feeling exhausted dizzy and having some pins and needles in my hand. (NHS website says 2_3months with malabsorption issues.) . I was told they cannot go against local NHS guidance and got to wait for 12 weeks for my B12 jab. I

All symptoms back
Hi, Symptoms are now back with avengence. My breathing and headaches are terrible. I have moved my Endo forward to next week and having new bloods this morning. Any suggestions of issues for my consultant? I am going to ask to raise to at least 100 of meds - obviously depending on my bloods. Heart issues

Supplimenting Vit B12 and Folate - how much?
Hello,My recent blood test shows: Ferritin 107ug/l (30-250) B12 377ng/l (200-900) Folate 4.7ug/l (3-20.50) (they forgot to test for Thyroid, so I have got to book in again for that...) I have checked previous messages and think that my Folate is low and B12 could be improved. There are supplements

It’s a bit basic but it takes me back to the 1970’s and shows I was first diagnosed with pernicious
anaemia
. I hope this is of some use. Best wishes x
